Honestly, I was shut out of a presidential political rally because I wasn't a big donor. I started looking into politics and then I decided to run for City Council. I was told (by a company) that I needed permission, so I looked into the law and found out that was illegal.

By that time I had learned so much about politics in Nevada that I decided to run in my District because no one has really pulled ahead in the race.

What keeps me in the race is the people I meet. When someone pounds your sign in their yard it is an enormous responsibility.

You can probably figure it out if you look at my work history. It's the current subject of a complaint to the NV Attorney General's office so I'd be happy to comment in the future.

I was told to wait to run until I had permission. I asked again, and was told to hold again. I finally just pushed the issue and decided to run anyway.

I've worked in tech my entire life.

Apple: Business to Business. I've managed thousands of accounts for small business.

Wireless: I have worked for every major wireless company building distribution and sales forces. Verizon, ATT, Alltel. In those capacities I helped to create over 300 small businesses. I've also helped to write FCC applications to get coverage in rural areas. Need more?

I would say, your network is your net worth. It is not easy, and I would highly recommend that you start attending as many local clubs (for your party). Being an outsider is very hard. It's designed to keep people out! Keep positive and be consistent.

Yes. You shouldn't have to be afraid you are going to lose your job if you are wanting to be a public servant.

That. Is. Terrible.

It should be protected at the Federal Level. I absolutely had a moment where I thought I would be fired for choosing to run, and I chose to run anyway.
